Gulf of Bothnia: Arctic Explorer Icebreaker Cruise from Rovaniemi + Ice Floating
About this experience
Board the *Arctic Explorer*, an industrial icebreaker ship that takes you through the frozen waters of the Gulf of Bothnia from Axelsvik in Lapland.
This ship, once built for industrial use, is now dedicated to explorers and carries up to 80 passengers per trip.
Transportation is organized via a shared shuttle between Rovaniemi and Axelsvik Harbour.
Participate in a safety briefing and put on a survival suit before departure. Travel through sea ice and have the opportunity to stand on the ice surface near the ship when permitted.
Additionally, experience floating in Arctic water while remaining comfortably warm in your survival suit. Enjoy a complimentary hot berry juice onboard.
Onboard facilities include a cafe, providing beverages for warmth. A multilingual guidebook is available for detailed information along the journey.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
